It's good to have friends!! Working at home on this Friday afternoon but always like to see friends out having a good time. My good friend John happened to be at Universal Studios Hollywood and when asked if he'd mind getting some pics of the new Super Nintendo World store he sent all of these awesome pics within 15 minutes. So I hope you all enjoy!! Pics by John Orr  The Feature Presentation Store at Universal Studios Hollywood now features Super Nintendo World!!  Let's head in shall we!  The team members having fun, probably a LOT of Bloggers/Vloggers visiting them today.  Even the registers are themed!  At least one new shirt design here!  Lots of awesome coffee mugs!  I think I need that Super Mario Bros. mug.  Heat Activated/Changing! (sorry for the annoying big watermark on a few of these pics, not sure what happened)  More Coffee Mugs!   A few display cases highlighting some pretty cool stuff   That's a lot of gold coins  Digging that Super Nintendo World Shirt! Looks like it comes in long sleeve and short sleeve.  Character Shirts and much more  So much stuff to explore!   This should be a slide all the way down to Super Nintendo World! Related Videos

Happy Tuesday everybody and welcome to another amazing Park Journey update!
Today we're heading to Universal Studios Hollywood to check out the progress on Super Nintendo World and a few other things around the park. I'll also give my final thoughts on HHN 2021.

Welcome to Hollywood, Universal style! It was an awesome day!
I'll be honest, my main goal for visiting was to get one of the Minion Halloween Popcorn Buckets. But apparently they had sold out weeks prior. =(
Some work going on in Super Silly Funland
Figured I should ride the only working tram in Southern California (seriously, SFMM and Disney only have buses right now, no other parks have them for now)
The backside of Super Nintendo World
Yep, this is still here. I really wish they'd re-do some of the Studio Tour. I mean, they're STILL talking about Desperate Housewives.
The front side of Super Nintendo World
They really are working rather quickly now
In our video we mentioned that the building on the left (with the purple) was Bowsers castle, and were basing this off of Universal Japan. But in looking at the shapes of the building a bit closer, it does appear we're getting a mirrored image of the one in Japan.
That would mean that this is the mountain where the Yoshi ride is in Japan (that Hollywood is reportedly not getting at opening)
And that this is Bowsers Castle, more at the center of the land.
And these are all of the shops and restaurants that are to the left of the entrance in Japan.

If you think I'm wrong about this, please let me know! =)
I'm sure somebody smarter than me had already picked up on this, but I haven't really seen anything about it.
Looking forward to seeing this project progress over the next few months. Hopefully we'll get an announcement with an opening time-frame soon!
Before we end Halloween season completely, wanted to give some final thoughts on HHN 2021.
We loved that Wizarding World was open, and enjoyed it every time! Now about those Dementors?
Bride of Frankenstein Lives was our favorite maze on opening night, and all the way through the run.
We hope the Universal Monster mazes continue, we'd love to see The Creature next year!
Even though we probably won't get the Frequent Fear next year (we'll be in Canada for a bit) we will definitely be making a few visits.
For those of you who have been following along with us for awhile, you'll be happy to know that we FINALLY parked in Curious George. In all our visits to USH, I had never parked in this structure. Which is bizarre and weird right? Lol.

This past weekend we headed out to Universal Studios Hollywood for a few hours of fun, breakfast in Wizarding World and of course to check out the progress on Super Nintendo World and Halloween Horror Nights prep. It was an unseasonably cool day in the park (cool for SoCal is in the 70's) but for mid-August, very out of the ordinary. Let's hope the cool weather sticks around for Haunt Season. But we all know another heat wave is coming. Let's head into the park to see what's going on. We've got pics and/or video for you this week! Written by Gregg Condon  Usually when you see overcast weather in August, that means humidity. But nope, it was just pleasant.  Scare Zone progress on the upper lot!   Signs like this EVERYWHERE. And I hadn't seen that many masks since opening day of the park back in April.  Before enjoying breakfast at Three Broomsticks, we took a ride on Forbidden Journey. No single rider necessary.
 Hogsmeade always looks so much better when it's gloomy.  We LOVE the facade for Bride of Frankenstein Lives
  The exit of Bride of Frankenstein Lives  No progress on the Walking Dead sign yet  Believe it or not, we had never ridden this. So we did. It was silly and swirly.  On the Studio Tour, they're getting ready for the Terror Tram. The cars are now behind fences.  Prep outside the Bates Motel     More land clearing going on outside Falls Lake   Oh yeah, Super Nintendo World is still going on too!   Sorry for the super zoom. Hoping the upcoming iPhone 13 will be a bit better at this. :)  Not much change for Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Just more foliage it seems.  They have one of these "The Hundreds" shirts, whatever that is. I want this in adult size, without The Hundreds thing, because I don't know what it is. Seriously. Lol.  Lots of work going on around Pandora's Box and Haunting of Hill House  Most controversial facade ever  We hope you enjoyed! We'll be back at HHN Hollywood for opening night! Can't wait!
